AFL Round 9

[The Dark Knight]

Collingwood were better defensively in the second quater and have stopped the Bulldogs from scoring but can't score themselves.

The sooner the AFL brings in the last touch rule to remove the grey area of the deliberate/insufficient intent rule the better IMO.

"Dissent" rule is embarrassing

[Spargo]

Laughable 50.

"Dissent" rule is embarrassing

It's happened again tonight where sometimes players react slightly when they give a free kick away and aren't penalised then other times they're called immediately, like Buku Khamis was.

I like the dissent rule to eradicate verbal umpire abuse, the rule just needs to be adjudicated consistently when players react to when they give away a free kick.

I don't mind giving a free for "abuse" but waving your arms is not abuse.

That DeGoey 50 is a joke.

Yeah agreed, exhibit A with De Goey there, that was very stiff.

[Vamos]

DeGoey 50 for being a cumb dunt. Nick wishing his last name was Tingay right now.

That was a putrid game by us.
Smith killed us.
But the digs all round looked very good.
Friggin hate it when treloar plays well against us.

Collingwood were beaten easily in the middle of the ground and the forwards that had little impact and struggled to score.
Mihocek- 1.2, 9 disposals, 6 marks, 4 score involvements.
Hoskin-Elliott- 1.0, 13 disposals, 7 marks, 2 score involvements.
Henry- 0.3, 10 disposals, 6 marks, 4 score involvements.
De Goey was good last night but he played majority midfield time- 1.0, 20 disposals at 95% efficiency, 7 marks, 7 clearances.

The Khamis one wasn't dissent, it was an appeal for a free kick, so anyone appealing for a deliberate out-of-bounds or holding-the-ball has to be penalised as well.

The worse thing about the De Goey one was, as a neutral, it sucked the life and interest out of the game.
Football, looking at the sport holistically, suffered for such a finicky decision.

Apart from a bullet kick to hoskin-elliott, McCreery didn't see much if it either.
Henry's kicking for goal was atrocious!
We just didn't look up for the fight.
Maybe the bugs had a bigger effect than the clubs saying?

[locky801]

looking like Port by 100+ this early already

[stan]

Good game on a the G here. Not sure I'll switch back to Tassie lol

[stan]

Lol North. Getting a massive rise down in Tassie. Maybe that's the hometown thing.
I would know about home town imprint haha.

Back to the main event at the G now.

[locky801]

Better 1/4 by North, down by 5 at the half.

[carey]

I’m convinced the umps have had a nibble on North at the line

Just channel surfing and saw a Noble coach killer that hit Powell pepper

Hope Noble doesn't upset the North snowflakes after another pitiful performance

[Wedgie]

Early signs are that it's game on at Marvel.
